Took this motor for a spin on Saturday. She fell In love with it. Got to be honest I did too. Buggers got a mere 6k miles on it. She's very excited as she's never had a nearly new motor before (neither have I) and she got a good deal on it. We collect it Thursday.
So naturally I have questions about it. Has anyone had experience with this Hyundai 5 year warranty? The guy made it sound like things like brakes and wear n tear items were covered :-\ I personally thought that's got to be wrong. She got it from the dealer.

Petrol?

I friend's missus has an i10 with 7yr warranty. Doesn't cover wear and tear, and I *think* it stipulated Hyundai servicing... ...though I'd be interested in the legalities of that.
-
Cheers guys. Yep 1.4 petrol (I wont let her have a diesel lol).
Wifey has a 4 year finance contract. And to keep the warranty e you have to have it serviced with genuine Hyundai parts. However their service schedule is 20k miles which is ridiculous in my mind so "I'll be doing something about that" lol however that means it only needs one stamp in the book based on her annual mileage to keep it going.
It's such a nice motor. A far cry from the Hyundai Accent ;D

From the mid 90s. Cheap and cheerful motoring. Whereas now, Hyundai charge a premium because its a "brand".

Back in the mists of time I feel sure my sister owned a Hyundai called 'Pony'
From memory it wasn't great but things have moved on since then.
I quite like the Genesis.

Good man. That's the spirit. :y

I remember the Hyundai accident being bought for one of TG's challenges.

Only car I've ever been nicked for speeding in. ::)

I think "maintaining momentum" in anticipation of a hill would cover it.
Sadly I didn't anticipate the cops under the next motorway bridge. 135 km/h in a 120 limit and a 250 rand fine (sub-£20). Bargain. :y
-
Had my Hyundai nearly 5 years (2005 model) bought with 25,000 miles now showing 60,000 a good workhorse,had a new alternator about a month ago genuine Hyundai one was £518 so went for an exchange at £180.Apart from that just regular service items. Don't think you can go far wrong with them.

Not sure little bro would agree, the amount of hassle his Hyundai attempt at a 4x4 has caused him. Though we're getting there...
Trouble is, its a Santa Fe, and UK support for them is dire.

Yes have heard about problems with the Santa Fe before guess I've just been lucky with mine, probably keep it another 3 years till I fully retire might consider a Jeep or Shogun next.

Oh Lordy me, I think the sea air is going to your head.

Always liked the Shogun since they first came out very difficult to find a secondhand one with sensible mileage though, looked at a few before I bought the Hyundai.

Frequently get them as hire cars on hols. I accept hire cars get a hard life so I'll forgive reliability issues, but just don't live up to the promises. If they ever wanted to be a serious competitor to the lives of BMW's X5 or JLR's Range Rover in the luxury, capable 4x4 stakes, they have a lot of work to do.
-
I've noticed when people start discussing 4x4's-which admittedly other than their names I know didley squat about-no one ever seems to mention the Isuzu Trooper so I guess there's a reason for this?
-
My 4x4 gets quite a hard life with dogs caravan & trailers muddy boots etc. So don't want anything too plush .

Depends what you want from it :y, its not in the luxury league like mention RR or X5.
Probably more a competitor to Discovery and similar, which is a hard nut to crack, due to the Disco's capabilities.
-
Colleague had a Trooper a few years back reckons it was a great vehicle, do they still make them ?

No, it became the Vauxhall/Opel Monterey in the 90's
Isuzu only make pickups and lorries today.

Neither of which can be taken seriously...

Ps re the new motor. I have one photo of it taken on Saturday. I refuse to put that up cos a.) you've all seen a Hyundai i30 before and b.) I'm bending down looking at something and my bald patch is horrendous :'( :'( :'( ;D ;D ;D
-
Will get a few piccies this Saturday as wifeys had to change collection date now ::)
-
Pps, I was hoping she would get it in rev 'n' go guise so I could drive it..... however sales gimp I mean guy seemed to thin autos in petroleum form e rocking horse shit. That surprised me to be honest. I thought most new cars would be 60/40 of manuals and autos cos people are getting ever lazier :-\

That engine would struggle with a slushbox. Not exactly a rocket in manual form. But it's not meant to be, it's meant to be an economical runabout.

How times have changed stemo. I'd have bet a hundred notes your post would have been mocking my bald patch :-\ ;D

That can be arranged...

Virtuall 100% of small cars will be manuals, with the occasional unreliable auto for those who passed their test in one...

Wasn't it Jason the traffic copper that said Cheshire police had them and the electrics was rather dodgy :-\

Maybe they were getting them as courtesy cars whilst the BMWs were being repaired?

They're on the Home Office approved list ;)

As the slogan went...
That'll be the Daewoo...
Cosmetically challenged Astra B and Ascona B initially and ultimately sold as Chevrolet products ;)

Yes. Apparently one individual thought a Daewoo Chevy was a real Chevy. Just like a Camaro or Corvette.
Hard to believe really. :)
From this forum, I think. What was his name again?

My Chevy was much better than a Camaro or Corvette. Like to see you get a dog crate in the back of one of them. Mine was also good on the fuel, unlike those overrated gas guzzlers. Talk sense, Opti.

The same Astra B that was comically easy to steal... yet there were never any reports of the Daewoo version getting nicked. I suppose a man can only be so desperate not to have to walk home from the pub. ;D

Lol, I think pretty much every car of that era was a doddle to nick with a coat hanger or half a tennis ball plus a screwdriver.

Certainly every frikker managed to get inside my MKII GTE. Not one of them had the common sense to work out how to start it though...

One particular thing I've only just found out about is the Hyundai badge at the rear flips up to reveal the rear view camera when in reverse. Pretty sweet.

Looks good, Mr Bear.
All your good lady now needs is male guidance on how to drive. :y
Girlies do tend to have trouble with the clutch and being in the correct gear. :)

Haha I reckon you're right there. She can expect hell if she curbs them pretty alloys! >:(

Just one thing. Unless you need to be worried some low life nicking those Hyundai alloys, get rid of that wheel lock bolts and save yourself trouble.. :y

Yeah I removed mine on the omega cos I lost the key as I'm sure most do.
But we do live next to a questionable area. So going to keep them for now

Lol sadly you're right. But every time she does it I'll take her car to the wheel clinic with her bank card. Will that learn 'er? Undecided lol
